Unlike her Republican rival Donald Trump, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has left clear that she is aware of the situation in Mexico, and recently expressed her support and care for one of the most “indignant” cases the nation has ever reported, “Ayotzinapa.”
“It is indignant. If I was working with the Mexican government, I would not rest until we found out what happened to those 42 people,” the presidential hopeful said during an interview with a Mexican publication. “Their kidnapping was a terrible law violation.”
With her statement, the 68-year-old former Secretary of State suggested that Enrique Peña Nieto’s administration is clearly not doing enough to provide answers for the families of the missing students, which is no surprise for the Mexican people.
During the interview, Clinton added that if she were voted the next President of The United of America, she would work towards strengthening the relationship between both countries, and join the investigation in order to get to the bottom of things.
“It is something that everyone in Mexico should be fighting for, in order to find answers,” she told La Opinión. “If there’s something that America could do to help, I would be the first one to offer that help.”
Clinton, who was named primary winner in the state of New York on Tuesday, clarified that “Ayotzinapa” was not her only concern in Aztec grounds. The Democratic front-runner pointed out that some of her future plans, if elected, were: working together to implement border control, helping the 20,000 students that study abroad in both countries, and increase security for both, Mexico and the U.S., regarding natural disasters and/or terrorist attacks.
“I will work very hard to be a good partner for Mexico, and I will continue to push the government’s reform and respect for human rights,” she concluded.
